Literature

Roerich Museum Catalogue, New York, 1930, p. 37, no. 983 (listed as 'Thang-La').

This luminous painting depicts the Tangla mountain range in India, reached by Nikolai Roerich's expedition in late 1928, when it traveled from Mongolia to Darjeeling, India. Believed to be a sacred place looked after by a multitude of Indian deities, the Thang La Pass in the Tangla mountains became a frequent subject of Roerich's paintings. The latest research conducted by Gvido Trepša, Senior Researcher at Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York, clarified the correct title for the present work, executed in 1928-1929.
